    !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!SUCCESS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I put the M14x R2 CPU in my M17x R4 and it had 7 beeps so I put the M17x R4 CPU in the M14x R2 and got 5 quick beeps then put the CMOS battery in and power drained and it works!!!! So it was the +5VS line and the CPU that were the culprits now it's going to cost around $100 - $150 for a CPU depending which one I get, so I would be spending around $350 on it, I've enjoyed working on it and learnt a lot

    Now I have to reassemble and install Windows and drivers when I get time to make sure the GPU is working properly.

    Ha, I know for certain now the LCD is good

            Thanks for the help to make it possible I've read your thread and it not working after installing video drivers certainly sounds like GPU, but unfortunately the M14x R2 is BGA and not MXM, I hope you can get yours fixed soon

              So far everything is working except two things, the touchpad as the ribbon was already damaged when I got it (trying to patch it up), The "Alienware" logo LED blue colour doesn't work, the GT650M seems to be working perfectly so far

                  Got an i7 3630QM to replace the original and 8GB RAM at a great price, I've got the touchpad working and it runs great!

                        Actually the CPU 7 beeps turned out to be wright in the end but the board sometimes gave 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, or 6 beeps randomly, except 8 beeps lol

                          Alienware 15 r2 error 4 beeps code.ram issue
                          by armands0212@gmail.com
                          Hi all.i have problem with my alienware 15 r2.basically its keep beeping 4 times at startup-what means there is ram issue.i already tried 10 different ram sticks with different speeds and voltages but nothing helps.tried to flash bios to see if that will help-but no luck.
                          Ram sockets looks fine as well,cleaned them and carefully inspected

                          So maybe someone had this problem as well with any of dell laptops and have some ideas what else i can do?

                          Thanks

                          Dell Alienware 17 R3 - LA-C912P Motherboard repair - 7 Beeps
                          by tech_guru
                          Hello.
                          I am having a disappointing motherboard repair with this laptop and I need your help.
                          This came in with water damage, doing absolutely nothing, and had almost all standby voltages shorted. I have already replaced all those shorted components:
                          -UE5 SIO KB9022QD - Programmed spare one, when replaced, 3.3v short got out
                          -PQ102 MDV1525URH
                          -U17 AOZ1331
                          -UE1 C8051F383-GQ
                          -PU800 SY8032ABC
                          -UI2 SY6288D20AAC
                          -PU508 RT6220AHGQUF 7P=
                          -PU100 TPS51225CRUKR
                          -PU300 TPS51212DSCR

                          Now, I get all the standby voltages, it turns...

                          Dell Alienware 17 R1 / M17X R5 / LA-9331P REV 1.0 - 7 beeps
                          by zwect
                          I have this Alienware 17 laptop with the VAS00 LA-9331P REV 1.0 motherboard that does not turn on anything when power is plugged in and gives the 7 beep sequence, CPU / GPU does not heat up, i tried only with an I5 4200M (the laptop did not come with either the GPU or the CPU, but on the back says that it originally came with the Nvidia 860M and an 4710MQ).

                          While i do not know if there is any CPU blacklisting system on the motherboard, i tried reflashing the BIOS (at UH14) and the EC (at U2) accordingly but no changes either.
                          PCH doesn't seem to be shorted but i haven't done...

                          by Superbee_dad
                          Hello Sharp TV experts
                          Our Sharp LC-80LE642U displays one short one long flash error code which is a backlight error. I went into service mode and there were 8 lamp error counts recorded. I reset the count to 0 and did a reset. The last monitor error cause was 16 B00014639:12. 16 is the code for backlight error. I tried to power the tv up but went back into error mode.

                          > I checked voltages on the power supply board and they all check out .. including 3.28 volts at the error pin.
